My second pro fight, I fought on the Joe Calzaghe and Bernard Hopkins undercard.
My second pro fight was at Madison Square Garden, on the undercard of Naseem Hamed's fight against Kevin Kelley.
I remember when Joe Calzaghe fought Jeff Lacy, and there was all this hype about Lacy being some sort of unbeatable force, and Joe absolutely hammered him.
Hopkins is talking about fighting at Yankee Stadium but that's rubbish. If he fought at Yankee Stadium, even the ushers wouldn't want to watch him. Bernard Hopkins couldn't draw breath.
No one's kicking down the door to fight Bernard Hopkins.
I'm not going to say I was Britain's greatest ever world champion. I think Joe Calzaghe was the best - although I think I fought a lot better fighters.
Primaries are a family fight. I'm a pro-free enterprise, pro-Second Amendment, pro-life Republican.
Joe Calzaghe is next. If he gets himself out that armchair, gets himself back in the gym, let's have a fight for the British fans and the rest of the world.
They had to debate whether Joe Frazier should be in the Boxing Hall of Fame or not. I'm making sure that it would be a felony to sit down and debate whether or not Bernard Hopkins deserves to be in the hall of fame.
When I say I am going to win a world title, I mean it; when I say I'll fight the best, I mean it; I say I'll fight Joe Calzaghe because I wanted to. When he vacated, I lost sleep over that. It had nothing to do with money or the belt. He was renowned as the best super-middleweight in the world and that is what I want to be.
Bernard Hopkins is one of my idols.
I became so disciplined when I was on tag. I would be at home by eight o'clock, and because I had boxing, I lived the disciplined life. I started reading because I learnt that so many champions educated themselves. Joe Louis, Mike Tyson, Bernard Hopkins. Before, it was 'act now, think later' - but the discipline and reading changed me.
While browsing in a second-hand bookshop one day, George Bernard Shaw was amused to find a copy of one of his own works which he himself had inscribed for a friend: "To ----, with esteem, George Bernard Shaw." He immediately purchased the book and returned it to the friend with a second inscription: "With renewed esteem, George Bernard Shaw.
Bernard Hopkins' accomplishments and achievements are far beyond that of the norm.
My personal feeling is that Bernard Hopkins has never been an industry boy.
If you read Bernard Hopkins' name in the dictionary, the definition would be 'discipline.'
Who knows how long I have got left. I could be like Bernard Hopkins.
